hell's veils from YON by derek joe brockett

take away yon pathetic veils
and dissolve these afflictions
that have bound & gagged
us together for so long

every veil is its own ignorant hell
blind & bound are you to the heel of strife

on yon horn of plenty you're impaled
yet you can't quite undress the emptiness
that has ached & nagged
at our being for so long

every veil is its own deep, vast hell
blind & bound you have been to the love of life

in deep, pure space you dissolve your hell's veils
relax clenched dumb fists
that had begged & lacked & groped
at nothing for so long

every veil is its own blinding hell
wined & dined you have been on the loaf of life
